Nihemaia 9
1 Amo oubiga eso 24 amo Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia wadela: i houba: le da: i dioi olelema: ne, ha: i mae nawane gilisi. Ilia da ga fi dunu amoga afafai dagoi. Ilia da wadela: i eboboi abula idiniginisi amola ilia da: i dioi olelema: ne, osobo gulu ilia dialuma da: iya legesu. Amalalu, ilia da wa: legadole, ilia wadela: i hou amola ilia aowalali ilia wadela: i hou hamoi fofada: i.
And on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
3 Amo eso ilia da biyaduyale momogili, momogi afae amoga ilia da ilia Hina Gode Ea Sema idibi nabalu. Amalalu, momogi afae eno ganodini ilia da ilia wadela: i hou fofada: nanu. Amola ilia da ilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu.
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Jehovah their God.
4 Lifai dunu amoga leloma: ne, fafai gagui dialebe ba: i. Amoga Yesua, Ba: inai, Ga: demiele, Siebanaia, Banai, Sielibaia, Houda: ia, Siebanaia, amola Bedahaia, amoga lelebe ba: i. Ilia dunu huluane nabima: ne, Hina Godema sia: ne gadosu.
Then stood up upon the platform of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to Jehovah their God.
5 Amalalu, Lifai dunu da dunu huluane Godema nodoma: ne sia: i. Amo Lifai dunu ilia dio da Yesua, Ga: demiele, Ba: inai, Hasiabena: ia, Sielibaia, Houda: ia, Siebanaia amola Bedahaia. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Wa: legadole, dilia Hina Godema mae fisili, eso huluane Ema nodonanoma. Dunu huluanedafa da Ea Dio gaguia gadole, nodonanumu da defea. Be E da Hadigidafaba: le, osobo bagade dunu ilia da Ema nodosu hamomu da defele hame ba: sa.”
And the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, said, Stand up, bless Jehovah your God from eternity to eternity. And let [men] bless the name of thy glory, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
6 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Di fawane da Godedafa. Di fawane da mu amola gasumuni amo ganodini diala amo hahamoi. Di da osobo bagade amola hano wayabo bagade hahamoi. Di da liligi huluane amoma esalusu i dagoi. Hebene soge ganodini, gasa bagade fi da Dima beguduli, nodone sia: ne gadosa.
Thou art the Same, thou alone, Jehovah, who hast made the heaven of heavens, and all their host, the earth and all that is therein, the seas and all that is therein. And thou quickenest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
7 Di, Hina Gode, da A: ibala: me ilegei. E da ea moilai Ba: bilone soge amo ganodini esalu. Be Di da e gadili oule asili, ea dio afadenene, A:ibalaha: me dio asuli.
Thou art the Same, Jehovah Elohim, who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
8 Dia ba: loba A: ibalaha: me da Dima dafawaneyale dawa: su dunu ba: i. Di da soge ema imunu sia: i. Amo da Ga: ina: ne dunu, Hidaide dunu, A:moulaide dunu, Belesaide dunu, Yebiusaide dunu amola Gegasiaide dunu, amo dunu ilia soge gagui huluane, A:ibalaha: me egaga fi amo ganodini esaloma: ne, ema imunu sia: i. Amola dia imunu sia: i, hamoi dagoi ba: i. Bai Di da mae fisili didili hamosa.
and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, — to give it to his seed; and thou hast performed thy words, for thou art righteous.
9 Ninia aowalali ilia se nabasu Idibidi soge ganodini, amo Di da ba: i dagoi. Amola ilia Maga: me Hano degemusa: fidima: ne wele sia: i, amo Di da nabi dagoi.
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea;
10 Di da Idibidi hina bagade, ea fidisu dunu amola ea fi dunu, ilia Dia Isala: ili fi banenesiba: le, amo hou hedofamusa: , gasa bagade musa: hame ba: su dawa: digima: ne olelesu hou hamoi dagoi. Di da Dia fi dunu ilia dio gaguia gadoi, amola Dia Dio da wali eso, gadodafa ba: sa.
and didst shew signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and thou didst make thee a name, as it is this day.
11 Di da Dia fi degemusa: , hano wayabo bagade mogili, Dia dunu da hano hafoga: i logoga hahawane asi. Ili medole legemusa: fa: no bobogei dunu da hanoga na dagoi ba: i. Hano gafului amoga igi gela dasu defele, ilia da hanoga gela sa: i dagoi.
And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they went through the midst of the sea on dry [ground]; and their pursuers thou threwest into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
12 Di da mu mobi agoai mogomogoi amoga esoga ili bisili oule asi. Amola gasi ganodini, Di da lalu sawa: amoga ilia logo hadigisu.
And thou leddest them in the day by a pillar of cloud, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
13 Sainai Goumia, Di da Hebene fisili, ilima sia: musa: gudu sa: i. Di da sema noga: iwane amola olelesu noga: i, ilima i.
And thou camest down on mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from the heavens, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments.
14 Di da, ilia da Dia Sa: bade eso huluane noga: le ouligima: ne, sia: i. Amola, ilima alofele ima: ne, Dia da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ema Dia Sema i.
And thou madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and prescribedst for them commandments and statutes and a law, through Moses thy servant.
15 Ilia ha: iba: le, Dia da Hebene soge amoga ha: i manu i, amola ilia hano hanaiba: le, hano dili moma: ne, igi amoga hano dili i. Di da soge amo ilima imunu sia: i, ilia da amo lale, noga: le ouligima: ne sia: i.
And thou gavest them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst say to them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
16 Be ninia aowalali da gasa fiwane heda: le, hame nabasu hou hamosu. Ilia da Dia sia: i nabimu higasu.
But they, our fathers, dealt proudly, and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
17 Ilia da hame nabasu. Ilia da Dia gasa bagade fidisu hou gogolei dagoi. Ilia gasa fi hamobeba: le, ilisu da hina dunu amo Idibidi sogega se dabe hawa: hamomusa: gini, ili bisili oule masa: ne ilegei dagoi. Be Di da gogolema: ne olofosu bagade dawa: Di da haha bagade, asigidafa amola hedolo hame ougisa. Amaiba: le, Di da ninia aowalali hame yolesi.
and refused to obey, neither were they mindful of thy wonders which thou hadst done among them; but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion made a captain to return to their bondage. But thou art a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great loving-kindness, and thou forsookest them not.
18 Ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ agoaila liligi gouliga hamoi. Ilia giadofale amo ogogosu ‘gode’ da ili bisili, Idibidi sogega fisili gadili oule asi dagoi, sia: i. Hina Gode! Ilia da Dia dio wadela: lesi dagoi.
Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt! and they had wrought great provocation,
19 Be Di da amo dunu wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini hame yolesi. Bai Dia hou da asigidafa. Di da mu mobi agoai mogomogoi amola lalu sawa: amola amo liligi hame samogei. Eso amola gasi ganodini, Di da logo ilima noga: le olelesu.
yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them on the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
20 Dia hahawane hou amoga, di da ilima agoane hamoma: ne adoi. Di da ilima “ma: na” ha: i manu amola hano moma: ne iasu.
Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
21 Ode 40 amoga ilia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini esaloba, Di da ilia hanai liligi defele fidi. Ilia abula da hamedafa abubula ahoasu, amola ilia emo da hame se nabasu amola hame fofasu.
Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.
22 Dia da logo doasiba: le, ilia da dunu fi bagade amo hasalasi. Ilia Hesiabone soge fi (ilia hina bagade da Saihone galu) amola Ba: isia: ne soge fi (ilia hina bagade da Oge galu) amo hasasali.
And thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, and didst divide them by countries; and they possessed the land of Sihon, as well the land of the king of Heshbon, as the land of Og king of Bashan.
23 Di da ilima mano amo ilia idi da gasumuni mu amo ganodini aligi ilia idi defele ba: i, amo ilima i. Dia fidibiba: le, ilia da soge amo Di da ilia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo ilia da hasalali, ganodini gesowale fi.
And their children thou didst multiply as the stars of heaven, and thou broughtest them into the land concerning which thou didst say to their fathers that they should go in to possess it.
24 Ilia da Ga: ina: ne soge fi ili amo hasasali. Di da ilima gasa iabeba: le, ilia da ilia hanaiga, Ga: ina: ne dunu amola ilia hina bagade amoga hamosu.
And the children went in and possessed the land; and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, both their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
25 Hina Gode! Dia fi dunu da gasa bagade gagili sali moilai amo lai dagoi. Ilia da osobo noga: idafa, diasu amo ganodini liligi noga: idafa ba: i, hano uli dogoi, olife ifa, ha: i manu ifa amola waini sagai amo bagohame lai. Ilia da ilia hanaiga ha: i nanu, ilia da: i da bagade alele, Dia iasu liligi noga: idafa ilia da hahawane lai.
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, wells digged, vineyards and olive-gardens, and fruit trees in abundance. And they did eat and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
26 Be Dia fi da sinidigili, Dia sia: hame nabasu. Ilia da Dia sema amo baligifa: su. Ilia da ilima sisasu olelesu dunu (balofede dunu) amo da ilia Dima sinidigili bu fa: no bobogema: ne sia: i, amo ilia da medole legesu. Eso bagohame amoga ilia da Dia Dio wadela: lesi.
But they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets who testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
27 Amaiba: le, ilima ha lai da ilima hasalasima: ne, Di da logo doasi dagoi. Amogawi, ilia da se bagade nababeba: le, Dima fidima: ne wele sia: su. Dia da asigiba: le, ouligisu dunu ilima asunasi. Amo ouligisu dunu ilia da Dia fi ilima ha lai dunu ilima gaga: i dagoi.
And thou gavest them into the hand of their oppressors, and they oppressed them; and in the time of their distress, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from the heavens, and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their oppressors.
28 Be olofosu da bu doaga: loba, ilia da bu eno wadela: le hamoi. Amalalu, Di da ilima ha lai dunu amo ilima hasalasima: ne, Di da logo bu doasi. Be ilia da bu Gode Dima sinidigiloba, Di da Hebene ganodini ilia wele sia: su nabalu, Di da bagadewane asigiba: le, eso bagohame amoga Dia fi dunu bu gaga: i.
But when they had rest, they did evil again before thee; and thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them; and again they cried unto thee, and thou heardest [them] from the heavens, and many times didst thou deliver them, according to thy mercies.
29 Ilia da Dia olelesu amoma noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne, Di da ilima sisasu olelei. Dia sema amo da esalusu logo olelesa. Be ilia da gasa fili, Dia Sema hamedafa nabasu.
And thou testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law; but they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances (which if a man do, he shall live in them); and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
30 Ode bagohame, Di da ili sinidigima: ne gebewane sia: su, amola Dia balofede dunu ilima sia: ma: ne asunasisu. Be ilia da ge ga: i agoai galusu. Amaiba: le, Di da eno fi ilima hasalimusa: yolesi.
And many years didst thou forbear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets; but they would not give ear: and thou gavest them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
31 Be Dia asigidafa hou da bagadedafa. Amaiba: le, Di da amo dunu hame yolesi, amola hame wadela: lesi. Di da hahawane amola Asigidafa hou ea bai esala.
Nevertheless for thy manifold mercies' sake, thou didst not make a full end of them nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
32 “Gode! Ninia Gode! Di da gasa bagadedafa! Dia gasa bagade hou ba: beba: le, dunu huluane da Diba: le beda: be. Di da mae fisili, Dia Gousa: su hou defele hamonana. Asilia hina bagade da ninima hasalasili, amo ganini waha, amo eso huluane amoga ninia da se bagade nabasu. Ninia ouligisu hina dunu, ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu, balofede dunu amola dunu huluane da se nabawane hahanisu. Amo Di mae gogolema.
And now, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and loving-kindness, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the days of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
33 Di da ninima se dabe iasu da moloidafa. Ninia da wadela: i hou bagade hamosu. Be Dia moloidafa hou, Di da hame yolesi.
But thou art just in all that is come upon us; for thou hast acted according to truth, and we have done wickedly.
34 Ninia aowalali, hina bagade, fi ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amo da Dia sema amoma hame fa: no bobogesu. Ilia da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i amola Dia sisasu hamedafa nabasu.
And our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers, have not performed thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
35 Dia da hahawane fidibiba: le, Di da Dia fi dunuma soge bagade noga: idafa ilima i. Amola ilia da amo ganodini hahawane esalu. Amola, hina bagade da ili ouligisu. Be ilia da wadela: i hou fisili, Dima hawa: hamomu, amo hame hamosu.
And they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land that thou didst set before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
36 Amaiba: le, ninia da wali udigili se dabe hawa: hamosu dunu agoai, soge Di da musa: ninima i, amola amoga ninia ha: i manu faisa, amo soge ganodini esala.
Behold, we are servants this day, and the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are bondmen in it.
37 Ninia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, eno fi hina bagade da nini ouligima: ne, Di da logo doasi. Wali ninia soge ganodini ha: i manu heda: le legeiya, huluane da ilima fawane iaha. Amola amo hina bagade da ilia hanaiga ninima amola ninia ohe ilima hamosa. Ninia da se bagade naba.”
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure; and we are in great distress.
38 “Amo hou huluane da doaga: beba: le, ninia, Isala: ili dunu huluane, da amo sia: dedei hahamosa. Ninia ouligisu dunu, Lifai dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amo da ilia dio dedene, amo sia: gobele salasu legei amoga ilegesa.”
And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests are at the sealing.
